Abstract

A poset (P,P)(P',\le_{P'}) contains a copy of some other poset (P,P)(P,\le_P) if there is an injection f ⁣:PPf\colon P'\to P where for every X,YPX,Y\in P, XPYX\le_P Y if and only if f(X)Pf(Y)f(X)\le_{P'} f(Y). For any posets PP and QQ, the poset Ramsey number R(P,Q)R(P,Q) is the smallest integer NN such that any blue/red coloring of a Boolean lattice of dimension NN contains either a copy of PP with all elements blue or a copy of QQ with all elements red. We denote by Kt1,,tK_{t_1,\dots,t_\ell} a complete \ell-partite poset, i.e.\ a poset consisting of \ell pairwise disjoint sets AiA^i of size tit_i, 1i1\le i\le \ell, such that for any i,j{1,,}i,j\in\{1,\dots,\ell\} and any two XAiX\in A^{i} and YAjY\in A^{j}, X<YX<Y if and only if i<ji<j. In this paper we show that R(Kt1,,t,Qn)n+(2+on(1))nlognR(K_{t_1,\dots,t_\ell},Q_n)\le n+\frac{(2+o_n(1))\ell n}{\log n}.
